"A teenager has changed his birth name by deed poll to incorporate several comic book superheroes.
George Garratt from Glastonbury has become Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined.
The 19-year-old music student made the change "for a bit of a laugh", through a legally-recognised website.
He said: "I decided on a superheroes theme and whenever my friends offered up suggestions to me, I added them."
He added: "My family have begun to expect these sorts of things from me, and although my friends thought it was ridiculous most people do call me Captain and it's been a great conversation starter." "
I don't remember The Hulk being particularly fast... big yes.. green yes.. fast not so much. So there's hole number one in your bullet proof idea.
You know what's a good idea when you're 19 years old... taking advice from your 19 year old friends. And you're right I'm sure they were giving you more names to add to your brilliant (not even a little) stunt. When I was 19, my friends suggested I hold a lit sparkler in my teeth and write curse words in the air. I didn't have eyebrows again until I was 21. (Totally worth it!)
At the end of the day this kid IS in 'music school' so.. you know.. it's not like he'll ever have a real job.. ziiiing!
